According to reports, the Dayton accords of 1995 was a peace agreement between the presidents of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia, as called because it was the product of convening at the u.s. airforce base near Dayton, Ohio. As part of the accords a $2 million debt owed by Bulgaria for war damages was reportedly waived. The as known federation of Bosnia (and Herzegovina) includes the republic of Srpska which spans the Bosniak Croat federation and the Bosnian Serb republic. The croats are reportedly ethnic muslims. The serbs slavic.
Reportedly the idea of a kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes evolved partly for security following the breakup of the Ottoman empire, said to have consisted of the Serbian monarchy who had previously wrestled freedom from the Ottomans and a multi ethnic government. Neighbouring Montenegro became occupied by Hungary in 1916 and joined in 1918, said to have been followed by small territorial gains from Bulgaria. According to a report Serbia had previously captured most of present day Macedonia which became part of Yugoslavia, though a Greek not slavic nation. Other reports were of a Bulgarian occupation of Macedonia and Romania during ww1 with a view to annexing and incorporating the new territories.
Post ww1 the kingdom of Yugoslavia or south slav land became a federal socialist republic made up of Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. Alexander I reigned from 1921 until 1934 when he was assassinated, according to various sources by Bulgarian, Vlado Chernozemski during a state visit to France. Chernozemski was said to have also killed two politicians, one identified as a socialist. He may have infiltrated the Macedonian internal revolutionary organisation which reportedly became an agent for Bulgarian interests. Macedonia being one of them. Not wholly succesful.
Following Alexander’s assassination he was succeeded by his 11 year old son Peter II and a cousin, Prince Paul who was regent. In 1939 Paul visited Hitler, he reportedly refused to sign Yugoslavia over to Germany as an economic colony, or make an issue by pulling out of the league of nations. He was said to be in favour of a peace front in the Baltics and to deter Germany from invading Poland and elsewhere. In 1939 he also visited Britain, seemingly as an advocate for peace. According to the report he ordered that the Yugoslav gold reserves be transferred to London.
Paul signed the tripartite Berlin pact in 1940, a defensive military alliance of Germany, Italy and Hungary and previously signed by other Baltic nations. Reportedly the result was a coup. Paul who was replaced by an adult Peter II spent the rest of the war under British house arrest in Kenya.
Germany, Italy and Hungary invaded Yugoslavia in 1941. Though resulting in surrender after 11 days, it was thought to have been a catalyst for resistance groups. Peter was exiled to London where in 1944 he married princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark. He was deposed by the Yugoslav assembly in 1945.
Josip Broz Tito became president. He was said to have backed the left in the Greek civil war. According to a report Winston Churchill gained an agreement with Stalin not to support Greek communists. Following the abolishment of the Yugoslav monarchy and the transition to a federal peoples’ republic, Tito signed the Bled agreement with Bulgaria, 1947 which reportedly envisioned a unification with Macedonia, Czechoslovakia and perhaps Yugoslavia as a union of Baltic nations. Not completed.
According to reports Britain became involved in the Greek civil war against the communist, Greek peoples’ liberation army, elas who on defeat signed the treaty of Varkiza, 1945. Reportedly the treaty allowed for communists to participate in government, all civil and political liberties guaranteed, along with the establishment of a non-political army. The treaty was not upheld and was reportedly followed by widespread killing of communists. The communist party of Greece became illegal in 1947.
